Chapter 2 Server Utilities & Configuration
System Utilities
Starion Minitower PC computers come with several utility programs and device drivers that are factory-
installed as image files (on computers that came with a hard disk drive) and supplied on diskettes.
Additional utility programs and device drivers are factory-installed and ready for use.
This chapter also describes PHLASH.EXE, which is not supplied with the computer. This utility is
available only via bulletin board distribution to customers needing BIOS upgrades.
